NASA intern who unwittingly told a legendary space expert to 'suck my.....' on Twitter is fired

Naomi, who claims to be 21 years old, then replied: 'Suck my d**k and b***s I'm working at NASA'. But the boorish intern was left red-faced when Hickam responded: 'And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.' Her online friends then replied to Hickam with insulting tweets and included the hashtag 'NASA', which brought it to the attention of the space agency.

Hickam later said in a blog post he learned that the unnamed intern had been fired by Nasa, who saw her tweets, following their exchange, and sympathised with her.

The NASA legend has revealed he is doing all he can to help Naomi secure a future in the aerospace sector that is better than the opportunity she lost.

The 75-year-old said he did not personally complain to Nasa before the woman was stripped of her offer, and that he never intended to get her in trouble.

He blamed Naomi's 'friends' for her dismissal, claiming they spread the exchange on social media long after he deleted his tweets for fear of getting the intern in trouble.

It is not known where in America Naomi lives, but she identifies as a furry - a subculture who enjoy dressing up as cartoon-inspired animals.

WHY?? Why is he doing that? This is what drives decent, normal people who play by the rules positively nuts.

I don’t understand it either. A legendary figure like that wants to give this rude, egotistical woman an even better position. I feel sorry for the people who will have to work with her.

NASA is almost all unclassified work. I think the only vetting needed is not be serial killer, and they may wave that for interns.

Yeah, you're probably correct. I forgot about crazy NASA astronaut Capt. Lisa Marie Nowak's epic ride to seek revenge on her rival in love. Wore Depends so as not to have to make a pit stop.

She’ll get helped into another position and won’t last 90 days.
